It's a tough question as to whether light is a wave or a particle..

The statement is FALSE. Not all types of waves need a medium to propagate. Light can travel without a medium. 

Extra Information:
Light is a longitudinal wave, sound is transverse.
Longitudinal waves do not need a medium.
Transverse waves need a medium.
This is why, for example, in the vacuum of space, light travels from stars, but sound does not.

lasie4. A 4 kg object is displaced to the right by a distance of 12 m underthe influence of the following forces: a 17 Nforce pu
Oksanka [162]

The work done by a constant force in a rectilinear motion is given by:

W=Fd\cos\theta

where F is the magnitude of the force, d is the distance and θ is the angle between the force and the displacement vector.

In this case we have two forces then we need to add the work done by each of them; for the first force we have a magnitude of 17 N, a displacement of 12 m and and angle of 0° (since both the displacement and the force point right); for the second force we have a magnitude of 36 N, a displacement of 12 m and an angle of 30°. Plugging these values we have that the total work is:

\begin{gathered} W=(17)(12)\cos0+(36)(12)\cos30 \\ W=578.123 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the total work done is 578.123 J and the answer is option E

A car is initially moving at 10.5 m/s and accelerates uniformly to reach a speed of 21.7 m/s in 4.34 s. How far did the car move
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

A. 69.9m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10.5m/s

Final velocity  = 21.7m/s

Time  = 4.34s

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

Let us first find the acceleration of the car;

  Acceleration  = \frac{v - u}{t}

  v is final velocity

   u is initial velocity

   t is the time

     Acceleration  = \frac{21.7 - 10.5}{4.34}   = 2.58m/s²

Distance traveled;

     V² = U² + 2aS

    21.7² = 10.5² + 2 x 2.58 x S

   360.64 = 2 x 2.58 x S

     S = 69.9m

Answer:

atom -
the smallest particle of a chemical element that can exist.

atomic mass-
the quantity of matter contained in an atom of an element

atomic weight -
ratio of the average mass of a chemical element's atoms to some standard

protons-
stable subatomic particle that has a positive charge equal in magnitude to a unit of electron charge and a rest mass of 1.67262 × 10−27 kg

electrons-
a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids

neutrons-
a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

energy levels-
one of the stable states of constant energy that may be assumed by a physical system  
[used especially of the quantum states of electrons in atoms and of nuclei. — called also energy state.]

Covalent bonds

the interatomic linkage that results from the sharing of an electron pair between two atoms.

ionic bonds
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

Valence electrons
a single electron or one of two or more electrons in the outer shell of an atom that is responsible for the chemical properties of the atom.

Lewis Dot Diagram
A way of representing atoms or molecules by showing electrons as dots surrounding the element symbol. One bond is represented as two electrons.
